Mission Imposible: Ghost Protocol (Film Review) -- "Edge of my Seat"

 A more-than-two-hour-lengthy film rarely works to keep up the action, and fortunately, we weren't disappointed, Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol isn't falling to that category. If you want an acion-packed movie that keeps you to the edge of your seats--nifty cool gadgets, tremendously thrilling stunts, and rule-over-the-world maniac villains--then this latest installment to the Mission Impossible series is a good fit to your eyes.

Today's films, regarding with the effects, basically are dependent to computers in effects-generation. Digital animation becomes too realistic to the extent that one look isn't enough to tell whether an animation is an animation or is the real deal.

Pertinent to this, M:I 4 chanced to add a little bit of this spice to the film. As a result, they hired the director to the Pixar's, "The Incredibles" and that film starring a mouse-chef, "Ratatouille". It is an enormous gamble that Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol makers won and their bets were paid back, big time.

Here's the set up. IMF is shut down due to implications of it to a global terrorist bomb sequence, Ethan and a handful of his fellow agents must go undercover and clear his institution's name. Only most difficult now than ever, because they have to stand to their own feet. No help, no contacts. They're on their own. That's hard.

M:I 4 IS KEEPING GOOD REPUTATION -- ACTION SCENES. Let me break this all down to you, one-by-one.

The beloved spelling-the-word-awesome gadgets that are featured in Mission Impossible 4 are all fresh to the eye. From scanner/printer contact lenses to image-modifying-sheets. Of course some of the MI faves are back--self-destructive messages, and face copying machines.

Action scenes are thrilling. Writers Josh Appelbaum and Andre Nemec, ditches Ethan's wife to get back to basics and resume to the blood-pumping missions and heart-pumping stunts lengthier, than it would if the wife is too involved.

M:I 4 IS FUN. Dunn and Brandt played by Simon Pegg and Jeremy Renner contributed a weight of fun to the movie, inserting some comic scenes to it. Simon Pegg, tested-"funny" from the previous mission film, and Mr. Renner, who eases to involve to the blockbuster charismatically with his fun snaps and actually acting, too. Renner captured me with his comic side, rather than the emotional acting, well, what the fudge, it's still damn good.

Of course, out of the blue, the ever catchy theme song of the film is played several times throughout the movie.

M:I 4 IS FATAL. LITERALLY. You'll see scenes in one of which, Ethan Hunt, Mr. Tom Cruise hangs off the tallest building of the world, Burj Khalifa in Dubai, and another of which Cruise rolled out inside a vehicle for a couple of rotations, glass scattered, car case cracked, and rear-view shattered. In these scenes, you won't be seeing a stunt man, but Tom Cruise himself, doing a crazy stunt declining to turn his back to his possible morality.

Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol is a film that keeps its promise. It is by far (for me) the best Mission movie I've seen. Ethan Hunt, in this film, faces the most intense spy game we've seen in some years. This Tom Cruise production is mission accomplished! 4.5!
